Quotes:

• Suddenly, I'm 14 years old at a friend's bar mitzvah, and I'm doing a limbo dance in a really short skirt. Afterwards, this guy comes up to me and says, 'Well, aren't you cute,' and he gives me his card. Turns out he was in the film business, and six months later I was doing TV adverts and trying out for movies.

• OK, sure, I have a body. I've had one since I was 16. But the attention it brings me, in life as well as in the industry, makes me really uncomfortable.

• I'm mostly cast as the Lolita type, either a blonde bombshell Lolita, or the girl-with-black-hair-who-smokes-weed Lolita. Either way, I'm inevitably the sexpot.

• Hollywood can be an ugly place, and it can do ugly things to you. I want to avoid that side of it as much as possible, and I also want to do so much more with my life than just act. Like travel, read books, open my own bakery.

• I really feel with this film that I've been able to show my soul rather than my body. And that's a big relief. (On her role as the titular Real Girl in Lars and the Real Girl.)

About the character: Kate Cameron

STRENGTH: Tenacity - Won’t accept failure, will never stay down in a fight.

WEAKNESS: Over-achiever - Always has something to prove.

Competitive by nature, Kate has lived in the shadow of her younger sister, Laura, all of her life. Kate rebelled against the life that was chosen for her, that of a wife, a mother and instead spread her own wings to fly. Joining Pan Am was her escape; at least until Laura signed on. Now Kate must learn to manage her past with her present. But she takes on an even greater challenge when she agrees to spy for the CIA; a role which makes her unique as she navigates a whole new world of espionage and intrigue.
